Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Devon Parish

The only Charles Ward showing up in Devon in the time span seems to have been baptised at St. Edmund's, Exeter, which was down by the bridge over the Exe, but that doesn't fit with the Falmouth entry.  Looking at the entry on Ancestry the words are a little clearer and I wonder if the opening letter is an "H". I still can't find an appropriate parish but maybe allowing for a broad Devon accent might help. (I did wonder about a "dropped H " giving a starting letter of "A" but a minister of a Cornish chapel would be used to that manner of speech.)

Yes thank you, I have the 1841 Census details showing Charles and Ann Ward nee Studden living in Truro at John Street with 1 year old Charles William Ward b.1840 and also the 10 Jul 1808 baptism of Charles Hartnoll Ward at St Edmunds Exeter son of Thomas Hartnoll Ward and Hannah Pierce.

It's a possibility, and it's in Exeter. Thanks for the suggestion. I will see if I can find Charles Ward in any record sets for St Olave.

"The city comprises the parishes of All Hallows Goldsmith-street, All Hallows-on-the Walls, St. Edmund, St. George, St. John, St. Kerrian, St. Lawrence, St. Martin, St. Mary-Arches, St. Mary Major, St. Mary-Steps, St. Olave, St. Pancras, St. Paul, St. Petrock, St. Stephen, and Holy Trinity, also the parochial chapelries of St. David and St. Sidwell, and the extra-parochial precincts of the Cathedral Close, Bedford, Bradninch, and Castle-yard. The parish church, St. Olave's, is a discharged rectory in the patronage of the Crown."

I have also found another source but it seems that the mystery Parish has also defeated this transcriber.

Perhaps you could upload the image - when I click on the link all I get is gobbledegook,

If that is still no good here is the link to the original

I've just gone back to original source and checked a few other entries on other pages and the cleric does indeed change from an A written style to a more curly @ type of letter A so point taken.

Thanks for your assistance.

I do not think it is Allalice - if you compare the first letter of the parish with the way the letter A is written on both Ann and August in the document they are different. It is more like S as in the S of Studden also in the document.

The baptism took place in Falmouth but Charles Ward was originally from Exeter, Devon so I have concentrated my search around that area but no luck.

Thanks for your interest.

I would like to request assistance in deciphering the name of the Parish on the attachment.

It is 1830's Devon and I am certain the first letter is S having compared it with the S in the name of Ann Studden.

I have looked at various lists of Devon Parishes and drawn a blank on each occasion.

Thank you.
